Abstract

The role of the triazolinyl radical as additive for controlled radical polymerisation is investigated for N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) as polar monomer. A linear increase of the molecular weight with conversion and first-order kinetics are observed proving the controlled behaviour of the polymerization. The end-functionalisation of the obtained polymers was proven by both GPC und UV-spectroscopy. Furthermore, various amphiphilic block copolymers were obtained by chain extension with styrene, methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate. In all cases monomodal GPC curves were obtained indicating an almost quantitative reinitiation.
